If I understood correctly, the current fix is incomplete and another fix is planned?

Yes. More info here - https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2014-7169

Also, in the advisory, RH says that after the update, servers need to be rebooted...  Really?

No. From https://access.redhat.com/articles/1200223

-------------------
Do I need to reboot or restart services after installing this update?

No, a reboot of your system or any of your services is not required. This vulnerability is in the initial import of the process environment from the kernel. This only happens when Bash is started. After the update that fixes this issue is installed, such new processes will use the new code, and will not be vulnerable. Conversely, old processes will not be started again, so the vulnerability does not materialize.
